Comptech Headers-need help *pic inside*

I need to know some info about the pic here. Their is this scratch and i need to know everyones opinions on the condition. Like if it looks down to the metal. What can be done to make sure it doesnt rust and/or crack, or if it looks good and i shouldnt worry about it. You know how my chicago winters are, so i dont want to have to worry about anything. Can anyone tell me if im good to go with what they can see in this pic, or is it something i should take care.

thanks

It's a scrape. Metal scrapes, I see no reason to worry since steel too is very strong.

You'll probably add one or two more when you go over a large speed bump. Don't worry about it.

There's nothing to fix. I'd suspect 75% of people have similar scratches, especially if their car is lowered.

steve is right, my headers have a huge dent in them in the same spot.

you better get a new A-pipe, it's the end of the world, you car will explode from lack of back pressure!

It won't rust. Comptech didn't label it "stainless" steel for nothing!

I drive in the Tristate area. I don't think there is a pipe on my car that doesn't have minor scrapes. You should be fine.
